Pega Sales Automation Implementation Guide
Note: Some of the listed features need to be enabled before you can fully configure them. For more information, see Enabling application features.
Competitors
During the implementation process, you import competitors, but the imported competitors have only basic characteristics. If your industry requires more details on competitors, you can add them manually by clicking Create competitor.

For more information about competitors and importing competitors, see Pega Sales Automation entities and Setting up competitors.

Relationship types
Add a relationship type to every contact in the application to indicate, for example, that a contact or a company is an employee of another contact or company. The default relationship type is Employee. If you have defined the Employee relationship type for a contact, when importing this contact, the system assigns the Employee relationship type to the contact.

For more information, see Pega Sales Automation entities.

Time periods
Add time periods to help define the sales goals for sales representatives.

For more information, see Setting up time periods for sales goals.

Products
During the implementation process, you import products, but you can also manually add products by clicking Create product.

For more information, see Pega Sales Automation entities and Setting up products.

Email templates

Relationship weights
Relationship intelligence helps sales representatives to find the person in their internal organization that can help them to have a warm introduction with a contact, as either an external prospect or a customer. Sales representatives can use the Relationships widget on the Insights screen to view a list of their contacts having a good relationship with the contact with whom the sales representative wishes to establish a professional relationship.

For more information, see Configuring relationship intelligence.
